Russian media showed pictures of Carlson at several spots around
Moscow, including at a box at the Bolshoi Theatre and eating at
a hotel.
"It is beautiful," Carlson said of Moscow in an interview aired
by the Izvestia newspaper. "I just wanted to see it because, you
know, I have read so much about it but I have never seen it
before."
When asked if he was in Moscow to interview Putin, Carlson said:
"We'll see". He then smiled.
The Kremlin, asked the same question, said it could hardly be
expected to comment on the comings and goings of foreign
journalists or provide a running commentary on them.
"Many foreign journalists come to Russia every day, many
continue to work here, and we welcome this," Kremlin spokesman
Dmitry Peskov said. "We have nothing to announce in terms of the
president's interviews to foreign media."
Carlson launched a new subscription-based streaming video
service in December to capitalize on his popularity among
conservative U.S. voters. An interview he posted on X with
former president Donald Trump last August has drawn more than
267 million views, according to the social media platform.
